I’m a sucker for a good redemption story, especially one where someone who seems completely irredeemable gets a second chance to get it right.

Down here in the American South, we don’t hide our
crazy people. We showcase them. I’ve always thought it
was because eccentric people make for the best stories, and
we Southerners love our stories. Faulkner, McCullers,
O’Connor, Porter—these are our chroniclers,
writers steeped in the slow, steady pulse of the
South’s pride, suffering, honor, madness, venality and
redemption. I grew up in Alabama, the heart of the South,
and live here still. The need to tell stories has been a
driving force in my life from a very young age.

As a child, my favorite books were Hardy Boys and Nancy Drew
mysteries and Harlequin Romances. When I realized there were
books that featured both romance and mystery, I knew
I’d found my calling. Now I write for Harlequin
Intrigue, where I get to play both matchmaker and murderer
and get paid for it.

In addition, I work a full-time day job at a Birmingham ad
agency, where I’m a copywriter and graphic designer, a
background that comes in handy when it’s time to
redesign my website and create promotional materials for my
books. I’m also known among certain circles as the Cat
Whisperer, but that’s a whole other story. I love to
hear from readers, so please click the contact button on my
website and tell me what you think about my books.
